That's right, after the Japanese reconnaissance team entered the mountain, they had a fierce exchange of fire with the troops stationed on both sides of Lu Shaojie's first battalion!
Listening to the intensive sound of gunfire, Zhang Tianhai's expression changed on the spot, and he was uncertain for a moment.
"Old Zhang, our left and right wings seem to be fighting with the Japanese army." Guo Qiliang walked in from the door.
"I know that it must be the Japanese infiltration team conducting armed reconnaissance on the two sides of the position next to the first battalion of our regiment." Zhang Tianhai's face was extremely ugly.
"Then what should we do next? Continue to execute?" Guo Qiliang stood there and looked at Zhang Tianhai, waiting for the latter's explanation.
Zhang Tianhai's expression remained unchanged, as gloomy as before. He was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said: "The siege plan is over!"
After Zhang Tianhai said these words, there was silence in this improvised temporary command center to prevent shelling. Even the air seemed to solidify, and even the temperature dropped suddenly.
"Then, what should we do?" Guo Qiliang was the first to break the silence.
"Wait, if the intensity of the Japs' attack is not strong, we will fight them; if the intensity of their attack is strong, then let the first battalion retreat!" Zhang Tianhai gave the answer directly, because he knew in his heart that the intensity of the Japs' attack was high. Since the Japanese have figured out their plan, and there are mountains on both sides, they will definitely not go deep.
It is an excellent traditional Chinese virtue to give up when the situation is good. On this point, Zhang Tianhai is very clear - if you fight the Japs on the front line with high intensity and hard work, the ones who will suffer must be their guards; but the Japs want to be soft He wanted to see what these little devils were planning!
All in all, Zhang Tianhai wants the little devil to suffer!
Of course, the main purpose is to prevent oneself from suffering a loss. If the Japanese army loses its frontline position without being trapped, it will not be fun to go up to the peak to blame it.
…
So, what exactly is Ushijima Mitsuru thinking?
The camera returns to the temporary headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division's Southward Column two hours later.
Ushijima Mitsuru was standing on a small high slope, using his binoculars to look at the battlefield where the fighting had just stopped. His whole body was as calm as a javelin.
Only he himself knew how anxious Ushijima Mitsuru was. Anyway, he gave the officers and soldiers around him such a calm feeling - after all, he was the commander-in-chief of this unit!
"Zhang Tianhai, this man is indeed very capable. Not only did he reach out to the north bank of our Xinqiang River, but he also prepared the next move. His troops were like a teapot stopper, blocking us. On the way to Sanjiang Town..." Ushijima Mitsuru gently put down the telescope in his hand and let out a long sigh.
Ushijima Mitsuru originally thought that his hasty decision would have a miraculous effect, but now it seemed that the other party had already thought about his next move - he was hesitating, should he retreat? What will be the consequences if you retreat?
The consequences they suffered were naturally not too big. After all, the strategic initiative was always in their hands. The biggest consequence was just being scolded by the division commander, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro.
"Your Majesty General, I think we should persevere!" said the lieutenant commander next to him.
"Tell me your reasons. I need a reasonable reason." Ushijima's face was serious, and he also urgently needed a reason to convince himself.
"Your Majesty General, I believe that the purpose of our action this time is to avenge their sneak attack on the port town. Now that we are at an advantage in all aspects, there is nothing we can do to take them down, so How will we regain our glory in the future?" Lieutenant Colonel suggested very seriously.
"Yoshi, your suggestion is very good, we should stick to it." Ushijima Mitsuru nodded slightly, and then continued: "Telegraph the aviation force, hoping that they can launch a fierce attack on the enemy positions on the south bank of the Xinqiang River in the afternoon. Bomb, and at the same time order the attacking troops to pry open the enemy's defense line at all costs! The artillery troops must also be ready to bombard with all their strength at any time!!"
"Hai!! The general is wise!!" Lieutenant Colonel lowered his head and responded. It could be seen from his expression that he was very happy that General Ushijima adopted his suggestion.
…
That afternoon, the Japanese army launched a very fierce attack on the front-line positions of the National Army.
In the sky, Japanese planes were flying towards the frontline positions of the national army in a dense formation with a strong roar.
In the telescope, Zhang Tianhai was counting the number of these aircraft.
"Damn it, I think these little devils have spent a lot of money. They actually dispatched twenty planes to bomb our positions. They are really willing to spend their money. In my opinion, their artillery has also been destroyed. Get ready!" Zhang Tianhai cursed fiercely, and then ordered: "Xu Xun, send me an order immediately, order the troops to guard the camp, and be ready to reinforce Lu Shaojie's troops at any time!"
"Yes! Commander in Chief!!" Xu Xun got the order and left.
Everyone around Zhang Tianhai could see that the decisive battle was about to begin - the commander-in-chief had already mobilized all available troops, with the purpose of preventing the Japanese troops from attacking.
Sure enough, after the Japanese aviation troops arrived, they immediately bombed the national army positions.
"Boom!!!!"
"Boom!!!!"
"Boom!!!!"
…
Aerial bombs were dropped from the Japanese aircraft, leaving behind a trail of death fireworks on the frontline of the national army. The exploding fireworks were like blooming roses of death, full of violent aesthetics, but also full of The smell of death.
As the aircraft bombs landed, the Japanese artillery troops were not idle either. The shells blasted out from their muzzles, then cut through the sky and hit the national army's position hard.
The roar of explosions was everywhere, almost deafening.
Those Japanese attacking troops had already tied dog-skin plasters and turbans on their heads. They were going to launch the most ferocious attack since they entered the south bank of the Xinqiang River!
Seeing the enemy positions in front of them exploding violently, these Japanese commanders raised their swords above their heads, commanding their men to charge forward at any time.
Kumamoto Okabe is a major in the Japanese army. As a young officer of the Japanese army, he must take command from the front and take the lead in this charge. Only in this way can he stand out in front of many superiors.
